My friend gave me the rest of his deer meat cause he said his wife can't cook it right and he doesn't want it to go to waste.I figured I would smoke the tenderlion seasoned with gunpowder and wraped with bacon he should like that.Just don't know temp to cook it at and IT it needs to be.I will probably smoke some of the chops and steaks with it .Looking for some advice from the experts on here.
I like to batter fry or grill tenderloins and backstrap.
You can do a killer medallion out of the tenderloins and cook on the grill.
(maybe cold smoke it first or hot smoke it and finish on grill)
I slice backstrap about 1/4 to 3/8 thick and put in a sandwich baggie and
pound with the smooth side of my meat mallet. Take a slice of onion (sweet),
slice of jalapeno (divined), cheese, bell pepper, etc or any combo and wrap
the pounded backstrap around that and wrap that with bacon. Wouldn't season
it too much, the bacon does that for you. Grill on med heat till bacon is done.
If you are worried about jala, bell peppers, onions not being cook ..... you can
saute them first and let cool so it doesn't melt your cheese.
I'll have to try that way next time I already have them prepped for the smoker.Any idea on what a good IT is on venison?
120* is considered rare, but wouldn't go much above that cause
venison is so lean. If you want an higher IT, might put the meat
in a pan with beef stock or beer. Hope this helps.

I always cut my backstraps 1.5-2" thick, butterfly, bacon wrap, and grill direct heat med rare. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
I'd cold smoke then grill.

I seasoned 2 backstraps with oakridge venison seasoning and wrapped them together with bacon and gonna try to smoke them to see how they come out.I took a pack of chops and did as you suggested. smashed them and stuffed with sweet peppers,jalapeno,garlic,and cheese.wrapped with bacon.should be a good dinner.I'll post pics later.thanks for the help.
The backstraps and deer turds came out awsome.The back straps were moist and tender.the deer turds were awsome full of flavor.Gun powder on venison is amazing!Thanks to TMB for the Gunpowder.(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/025_zps88ae1a8f.jpg)(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/030_zps1489f7dd.jpg)(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/038-1_zpsc6d69e7b.jpg)(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/040-1_zps97c5f59a.jpg)(http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff418/mez312/044_zpscf622d61.jpg)
